Grant Writer — AgriNet Field Pilot

Remote · Flexible hours · Project Hub #6 · Focus: agriculture, rural development, open-source software

AgriNet is NTARI's oldest project: open-source coordination software for farm cooperatives — product listings, forward contracts, escrow-secured settlement, and a tamper-evident record of every transaction — built, tested, and ready. What it has never had is a real-world deployment operated by the community it serves. This pilot funds exactly that: twelve months with a Kentucky farm cooperative (the lead candidate runs multi-farm food-box logistics for a USDA program), measured against real baselines, for $198,000.

You'll write for the funders who care about this work: USDA Rural Development narratives, Southern SARE applications prepared jointly with the partner co-op, Louisville's James Graham Brown Foundation, and Farm Credit Mid-America. The expanded plan hands you the budget, evaluation metrics, a candid risk register, and a funder map verified in August 2026.

Strong fit for a writer who can speak farm-country and software in the same paragraph. Remote via NTARI's Slack grant desk, with peer review before anything is submitted.
